AND NEW MAIN CHANNEL VIDEOS SOON!!!!
Seeing Hasbro make these Bumblebee movie concept art figures... I'd kinda love to see a Transformers line dedicated to unused concept art and cancelled figures. Maurauder Megatron VS Trans-Tech Optimus, Titan Class G1 Unicron homage...it would sell so well. Great vid!
Thanks for the comment, man! I completely agree. Legacy Thundertron is a pretty deep cut so why not go deeper? 🤣 Loved your Energon Megatron comparison video by the way, that was a childhood favorite figure of mine!
You can 3D print Marauder Megatron. He’s fully functional and has great articulation. I have videos reviewing him and instructions on how to transform him!
I never thought I'd ever hear "UNICRON." You know the literal destroyer and eater of planets. And "good boy" being a description of him the next sentence after 🗿💀
A coda to Hasbro deciding to do TF Prime instead of Animated season 4 was the production company/producers behind Prime were apparently a huge pain in the ass to work with, largely ignoring the continuity bible Hasbro had put a lot of work into, and refusing to integrate lore from the War For Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron games (which had already graciously incorporated the Prime tv show's lore). Lesson learned from this experience and the very family-unfriendly content in the Michael Bay movies, today Hasbro has greater creative control over media using their brands.
Yo I just want to say that I really appreciate your high quality videos man, keep sharing your love of Transformers with the world. ❤ Trans-tech Starscream does look a bit like Cyclonus though, and Trans-tech Cheetor would have looked awesome.
on the animated toyline. making the toys was actually pretty easy since the show character designer also worked with the toy designers both worked to make the toys as accurate as the character and the character would soemtimes get tweaked to be more accurate to their toys as well.
Would kill for the Animated Hotshot. He’s one of my favorite characters ever, and I wish it was real. I grew up mostly on UT and Animated. When I saw him S3 of Animated I lost my little mind as a kid.
oho, I see, so you've been doing this for a while. i THOUGHT you seemed a little good for someone with so few videos under his belt, while at the same time kind of low-key in that "meh I've put in the work before, it didn't pan out" kinda way. I respect and enjoy that. You get a subscribe. Keep it up.
I’d love to see transtech get some kind of realization outside of the prototypes. I like the designs, plus it sounds like it would have the maximals fighting the decepticons. Like we saw the maximals see the G1 characters, but they were all in stasis, and Starscream showed up as a ghost possessing Waspinator. Still wish they kept that idea, and implement Waspinator’s transmetal form. Hell, I wish all the original season 1 maximals and predacons got a transmetal form
Animated was at least at the time, the best transformers toyline we'd gotten. What they did with those impossible designs, making them work, deftly adding in things missing from the animation model because western artists cannot into mecha (like necessary but missing joints), somehow improving both modes... They did a great job.
It would be cool if Haslabs came out with that Unicron toy. I agree it is kind of funny looking, but I think it's great too and it would be a lot of fun to own one.
When ReAction came out with the mini "large" Unicron prototype figure, it only made me want it that much more for a real thing. Maybe Hasbro will grace us with a pseudo-Studio 86 version of it :D
I think it's probably more likely to get made as part of Takara's Missing Link line. They could pretend that the prototype was mistransformed, allowing them to add additional steps to Unicron's transformation and improve upon the unfinished design. I hope Arcee also gets similar treatment, based on her 80s prototype toy.
Those transtech designs would have been super interesting to see mainframe pull off since they are soooo much more complex than any of their designs in beast wars or beast machines

Just discovered your channel and am looking forward to more videos. A couple of points. One, I was there for the online discourse during the Beast era and NO the fanbase was not then nor is it now united in loving Beast Wars. There are still plenty of us never Beasters out there. Back in the day we were the trukk not monkee crowd. Yeah I will give you Beast Machines was universally hated, rightfully so, but there are still plenty of Transformers fans who never came around to Beast Wars. But you are right that many fans have come around just not the entire fanbase. Lastly I respect your opinion on Animated but I wholeheartedly disagree. Next to the Beast Era and Armada, Animated are in MY opinion, some of the worst toy designs and I just wanted to share that cuz you seem cool and can handle discourse lol. Anyways stay cool.
So...random memory, I remember once when I was like, 8, 10 years ago, I had a transformers beast machines DVD that I loved, I don't exactly remember why I liked it though
On G1 transformers season 3 got weird having many characters (the quintesons, Unicron) as main focus point but there was no toys. Having many Decepticons with few screen time as the combiners. Never understood why the cartoon became a bad toy commercial. I think the lunataks from Thundercats had similar story
It’s annoying that hasbro/takara are so mad on scale. Face it, a unicron that actually scales with a deluxe size figure would be as big as a house. Just give us a g1 accurate legacy deluxe unicron figure. That would be cool!
Back in 2011, I was hoping to get Animated Wingblade Optimus Prime, Hydrodrive Bumblebee, Goldfire Grimlock and Blackout. I got the Takara versions of three of the four, but I sold them off later. Given the G1 and Beast Wars vintage lines we've had recently, I'm hoping Hasbro can do the same for Animated and re-release its cancelled toys for something like that too. I asked one of the members of the Transformers brand team from the Hasbro Pulse live streams at a convention about it, and their response was to stay tuned, given that Animated has been included in the Legacy line. I also would still like to get Marauder Megatron too, and given the concept art Megatron we got from Studio Series recently, which was actually inspired by Marauder Megatron, I'm hoping they can make a concept art figure of it for Legacy too. It's also worth mentioning that Animated's character designer, the late, great Derrick J. Wyatt was thinking of colouring Marauder Megatron in a style similar to Beast Machines Megatron.
I remember back in the day i wondered why they never put out a toy of him, along with galvatron and the sweeps etc pretty much the star attractions in the movie. But yeah seeing these prototypes and having the "to scale" models they make nowadays in the back of my head, you have to figure it just wasn't all that doable at the time.
I think i found somewhere the image of a full transtech cheetor robot mode! Thered also an immorticon and megatron prototypes (they look weird due to the quality but its real) and the rarest prototype image is transtech ultra class prime
Although I did grow up watching TFA here and there growing up. I honestly don’t think it’s just nostalgia that makes the figures so good I recently got ultra Magnus from value village and I have no nostalgia towards animated Magnus and I still think it’s a amazing figure
Animated being the best 😂 I never seen your videos, but I can tell that you like to entertain. Animated being the best 🤣 That is a good one, so funny! I'm do have some Animated figures but I had to put them in storage. Out of sight out of mind, right! That toy line was horrible! You can't even transform Bumblebee without him falling apart! The best lol! I have to use that joke!
Yeah, that show is not good. None of the characters behave like the characters from Beast Wars, and the ending is awful. It felt like the writers wrote a completely unconnected story, THEN watched BW, and afterwards they shoehorned in references to BW to try and tie the two together. (Just like ND Stevenson did with the awful "Princesses of Power" cartoon.) The whole thing should be rendered non-canon. I want Hasbro to make a new sequel that continues on from Beast Wars and erases the events of BM from continuity.

Creature: where did my planet go?
suspiciously planet-shaped Unicron:
A+ comment
Reminds me of how Ed Edd and Eddy eat jaw breakers. Their entire cheek just being jawbreaker shaped
🏅
Marauder Megatron could’ve been the absolute peak of Megatron toys
I totally agree here's hoping Hasbro will do a Thundertron style deep cut toy for him
They still could have released it as a concept art toy, that would have ben great
Shredder went too far in his experiments with mutagens.
but we now have him as a bumblebee movie megatron
nah I think a legacy TFA leader toy would be the peak
Seeing Hasbro make these Bumblebee movie concept art figures... I'd kinda love to see a Transformers line dedicated to unused concept art and cancelled figures. Maurauder Megatron VS Trans-Tech Optimus, Titan Class G1 Unicron homage...it would sell so well. Great vid!
Thanks for the comment, man! I completely agree. Legacy Thundertron is a pretty deep cut so why not go deeper? 🤣 Loved your Energon Megatron comparison video by the way, that was a childhood favorite figure of mine!
I came down here to say exactly this! I would buy that line in a heartbeat
Sup jcc! Kind expected you to be here
Also yall bring some good content!
You can 3D print Marauder Megatron.
He’s fully functional and has great articulation.
I have videos reviewing him and instructions on how to transform him!
Nice, I'll take a look
Instead of making a Unicron toy, they made an Orson Wells toy.
Incredibly underrated post
😂
All the cancelled G2 designs were amazingly 90s. I’m glad we’re finally getting some of them in Legacy
Yeah I love the G2 stuff too! Now I'm just hoping we get some more action masters made into fully transforming toys.
in a Bot-con there was a script reading for the season 4 ep 1 script, 'The Trial of Megatron' with the animated voice cast.
I never thought I'd ever hear "UNICRON." You know the literal destroyer and eater of planets. And "good boy" being a description of him the next sentence after 🗿💀
But he is fat and goofy
I wish we would've gotten an Animated Omega Supreme, that would've no doubt been the crown jewel of the animated line!
Agreed!
A coda to Hasbro deciding to do TF Prime instead of Animated season 4 was the production company/producers behind Prime were apparently a huge pain in the ass to work with, largely ignoring the continuity bible Hasbro had put a lot of work into, and refusing to integrate lore from the War For Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron games (which had already graciously incorporated the Prime tv show's lore).
Lesson learned from this experience and the very family-unfriendly content in the Michael Bay movies, today Hasbro has greater creative control over media using their brands.
That's really interesting!
Yo I just want to say that I really appreciate your high quality videos man, keep sharing your love of Transformers with the world. ❤
Trans-tech Starscream does look a bit like Cyclonus though, and Trans-tech Cheetor would have looked awesome.
I appreciate that!
It is Sacrilege to say Beast Machines Introduced Sparks! To the Pit with you!
I know I already got a comment 😭 never gonna live this one down. Thanks for the comment Perspective!
Nickelodeon gave that away with every Transformers figure. I the "Guess the name of the Monster Planet" Contest in 1986.
on the animated toyline.
making the toys was actually pretty easy since the show character designer also worked with the toy designers both worked to make the toys as accurate as the character and the character would soemtimes get tweaked to be more accurate to their toys as well.
We could've gotten that Chubbicron to pair with Fatimus Prime
Also - they're doing a Turtles crossover soon. Don't tell me Marauder Megatron couldn't be repurposed to be a Shredder crossover? It would 100% fit.
That would be cool!
Would kill for the Animated Hotshot. He’s one of my favorite characters ever, and I wish it was real. I grew up mostly on UT and Animated. When I saw him S3 of Animated I lost my little mind as a kid.
That aint Unicron that is Unicorn, and the Earth shall soon be a part of him
Sixshot: wooooooaaaaaahhh
Cough cough transformers prime/ The Last Knight
“I’m not sure who would win in a eating contest, him or Caseoh.” Got me laughing so hard that I got a headache.
Cyberverse Arcee is my favorite classic Arcee, never had the animated one but it looks good too.
That Transtech Optimus design is insanely cool. If it were real I would be swinging that truck around by its bed like a pickaxe lol
oho, I see, so you've been doing this for a while. i THOUGHT you seemed a little good for someone with so few videos under his belt, while at the same time kind of low-key in that "meh I've put in the work before, it didn't pan out" kinda way. I respect and enjoy that. You get a subscribe. Keep it up.
we also got a third party of that transtech cheetor
This Unicorn toy is AWESOME and I want one NOW.
Caseoh solos unicron by flattening him
That new Super Posable Optimus Prime is MY JAM DUDE! i hope they do a LOT of the old G1 and G2 figures like that!
I hope so too!
Great content man, time to binge watch the rest!
I’d love to see transtech get some kind of realization outside of the prototypes. I like the designs, plus it sounds like it would have the maximals fighting the decepticons. Like we saw the maximals see the G1 characters, but they were all in stasis, and Starscream showed up as a ghost possessing Waspinator. Still wish they kept that idea, and implement Waspinator’s transmetal form. Hell, I wish all the original season 1 maximals and predacons got a transmetal form
Start making Pt2 now, this boutta do numbers
Animated was at least at the time, the best transformers toyline we'd gotten. What they did with those impossible designs, making them work, deftly adding in things missing from the animation model because western artists cannot into mecha (like necessary but missing joints), somehow improving both modes... They did a great job.
Excellent video! This was very well done. I always thought the unreleased unicorn looked a bit odd for sure. I do appreciate the newer version though
I can recommend the Flame Toys Furai Arcee, yes it's licenced, yes it does not transform, yes it's a model kit. :D
Arcee not getting a toy means she was spared from getting offlined by a comically powered starscream
Dude wtf those transtech designs are INSANE
0:47 caseoh crossover
They were actually going to use a Chrome Dome for an RC Headmaster but that was also canceled
My brain keeps telling me that's not Unicorn, that's Robotnik with a viking helmet
7:00 "hello agent Blurr. Id like to play a game. Before you is a trash compactor-"
He is my favorite Unicron design
I wish Movie Trilogy Wheeljack and Movie Trilogy Bumblebee before Transformers Age Of Extinction came out.
It would be cool if Haslabs came out with that Unicron toy. I agree it is kind of funny looking, but I think it's great too and it would be a lot of fun to own one.
I like it that someone remakes this and make a 3b file for it
When ReAction came out with the mini "large" Unicron prototype figure, it only made me want it that much more for a real thing. Maybe Hasbro will grace us with a pseudo-Studio 86 version of it :D
I'd love a leader or even voyager class of him
I think it's probably more likely to get made as part of Takara's Missing Link line. They could pretend that the prototype was mistransformed, allowing them to add additional steps to Unicron's transformation and improve upon the unfinished design. I hope Arcee also gets similar treatment, based on her 80s prototype toy.
Thank god the unicron one wasn’t made every child,collector,or even a regular person would be disappointed
Those transtech designs would have been super interesting to see mainframe pull off since they are soooo much more complex than any of their designs in beast wars or beast machines
Cartoon Network was also the reason why season 4 of animated got defied and axed

Its really strange!
I absolutely loved Beast Machines after watching Beast Wars.
althought I'll never defend the designs for the maximals.
I really, REALLY want that fat Unicron. at least they made a Re:Action figure out of it.
Same!
I'm STILL waiting for Studio Series Devcon.
Just found your channel , not big fan of transformers but you gain a new subscriber good video 💯
Awesome, thank you!
As far as unreleased figures go, the most famous one for me is the original Toxitron. :)
That's a great one that I only recently found out was a canceled guy! I love anything with a "toxic ooze" theme!
Chris McFeely video we came in I said in my iPad screen on the recommended tab when I was watching this video
I love Chris' videos!
Tf animated prime was supposed to be a firetruck and it looks so good 😭
Also Orson Wells goes out as a Planet Eating Monster.
The new owners of the Bot con name have revealed a ton of unused designs, my favorite being a titans return version of Alligator Optimus Prime.
Bro I found that unicorn on amazon. Idk how😭🙏😭. It didn’t even get released💀.
My youngest brother swears by the matrix that he saw a Unicron toy back in the 90's and I had always thought that it was a knockoff.
You forgot about Siege Arcee. That one is amazing.
Can you imagine is Animated Hot Shot came back for Legacy? It would be AWESOME.
I had a mcdonalds toy egg Megatron as a kid, it's long gone, but I never knew it was Megatron until like 2023
They should’ve made a blur transformer that just transforms into a cube. For reasons.
The animated art style is the same as ben 10 omniverse, I noticed this while watching it
Yup same designed, Derrick J Wyatt. He also did the og Teen Titans cartoon
@@dumbjakeworld wow, I didn't know that
I actually made a pretty accurate custom triple changing legacy animated Marauder megatron out of Skyquake
That sounds awesome! Do you have a video about it?
Honestly seeing the recent mask figures and how suprisingly good those are I have hopes for a modern retail unicron
It’s annoying that hasbro/takara are so mad on scale. Face it, a unicron that actually scales with a deluxe size figure would be as big as a house. Just give us a g1 accurate legacy deluxe unicron figure. That would be cool!
I got a Lindor chocolate egg ad when you said Megatron egg
That's hilarious
You should do a video on transformers that don't transform.
It's on my list!
The acree one aged so well 😂
The best Arcee toy is the first edition Prime figure. It’s amazing. I know it’s not g1 themed, but it is the best to have that name
I’m surprised fans haven’t petitioned for a Transformers animated revival
6:31 I just cannot listen to that frase the same anymore since those tik toks became viral
0:26 that grimlock… I found that in a second hand shop, it had several cannons all over its body. Someone please tell me what line it’s from.
G1 unicron toy aka discord mod unicron
I almost gave up on beast machines because of the words, "I am transformed!"
Back in 2011, I was hoping to get Animated Wingblade Optimus Prime, Hydrodrive Bumblebee, Goldfire Grimlock and Blackout. I got the Takara versions of three of the four, but I sold them off later. Given the G1 and Beast Wars vintage lines we've had recently, I'm hoping Hasbro can do the same for Animated and re-release its cancelled toys for something like that too.

But yeah seeing these prototypes and having the "to scale" models they make nowadays in the back of my head, you have to figure it just wasn't all that doable at the time.
I think we know why we never got a good arcee figure until the 30th anniversary
"He's a triple-changer..."
Cut to Transformers RID (2000) Megatron & Galvatron playing Cybertronian Poker ---
"THREE modes? ...HaHaHaHaHaHa!!! Loser!"
Did you know there was a scrapped Bayverse Blaster?
I believe he was made for Dark Side of The Mood.
Great video, but what was with all the weird cuts at the end? I scanned the comments and didn't see anyone talking about this
I think i found somewhere the image of a full transtech cheetor robot mode! Thered also an immorticon and megatron prototypes (they look weird due to the quality but its real) and the rarest prototype image is transtech ultra class prime
There's an Animated Wasp coming out next year. But There must be an Animated Omega supreme toy one day.
Transformers animated prototypes figures are amazing😢
Movie/Shows Transformers being huge: 👍 Toy Transformers being huge: 😭
That unicron looks like eggman after one of his machines backfires on him
Although I did grow up watching TFA here and there growing up. I honestly don’t think it’s just nostalgia that makes the figures so good I recently got ultra Magnus from value village and I have no nostalgia towards animated Magnus and I still think it’s a amazing figure
Animated being the best 😂 I never seen your videos, but I can tell that you like to entertain. Animated being the best 🤣 That is a good one, so funny! I'm do have some Animated figures but I had to put them in storage. Out of sight out of mind, right! That toy line was horrible! You can't even transform Bumblebee without him falling apart! The best lol! I have to use that joke!
Helping out the algorithm ✌️
Thanks, I appreciate that!
I love the smiley game. Ur on to smth there.
hasbro needs to make either a new toyline that's made up of unreleased figures or a subsection of legacy for unreleased figures
This kinda reminds me the whole ass animated Blackout mould that was only used a lil in Japan. What a waste and what a shame
Yeah, I wish Hasbro would put him on Pulse like they did for Prime Megatron, Breakdown, and Vehicon
funny thing is legends scale unicron would actually still be massive
what in the evangelion fuck was hasbro thinking when they scrapped this?
NAHHHHH 0:55 IS WILD I, THAT PART GOT ME ROLLIN TO ALABAMA
Beast Machines is as bad as all the fans remember. I watched it as an adult, and also, Sparks were absolutely introduced in Beast Wars, not Machines.
Thank you for the correction!
Yeah, that show is not good. None of the characters behave like the characters from Beast Wars, and the ending is awful.
It felt like the writers wrote a completely unconnected story, THEN watched BW, and afterwards they shoehorned in references to BW to try and tie the two together. (Just like ND Stevenson did with the awful "Princesses of Power" cartoon.) The whole thing should be rendered non-canon. I want Hasbro to make a new sequel that continues on from Beast Wars and erases the events of BM from continuity.
@Rocket1377 it's actually worse than that, they were specifically told not to watch Beast Wars and Hasbro just told them to include certain things
